What Our Patients Say About Us

Image ImageImage
"My mother had the appointment. She is 89 and has dementia. Paula is her usual dental hygienist. This was a cancellation appt and was told we would have Nancy. It worked out that another patient rescheduled and got Paula , which is not her regular hygienist, so the office did a seitceroo. My mother and I were so appreciative. My mother feels safe and comfortable with her. True kindness is always given to my mother and a 10percent discount was also applied to our visit. Thank you."

- William G.

"They really made me feel at ease....Dr Zimmerman explained everything so i would understand what my treatment would entail. Everyone I encountered was very professional and polite"

- Donna K.

"Downtown Dental has become my new source of dental care after 36 years with McGrath Dental Wellness, where I received excellent care. They suggested that Downtown Dental might be a good match for me and their prediction is proving to be true. I give Downtown Dental 5 stars"
